Trained in rural valuation in Galicia in the late two thousands, initially working out of a small appraisal office on the outskirts of Lugo. Her early work focused on smallholdings, fragmented parcels, and inherited land where documentation often lagged behind actual use. Became accustomed to working with incomplete cadastral records, informal boundaries, and properties passed down without formal subdivision. Her move to the Isle of Skye came gradually, following personal research into the MacKinnon line and a growing involvement in crofting records. What began as genealogical interest turned into parallel work: valuation of croft land, shared grazing rights, and properties where legal definition and lived reality rarely align cleanly. Now works between the two regions, maintaining separate but overlapping casework. On one desk: Galician fincas, often abandoned or partially cultivated, with layered ownership histories. On the other: Highland croft cases, where access rights, tenancy, and historical claims require careful interpretation alongside formal valuation. Her reports are known for being precise but cautious, often including notes on discrepancies between surveyed limits and observed use. Keeps a personal calendar where she logs site visits, weather conditions, and irregularities encountered during inspections. Travels frequently, often alone, and prefers to revisit sites more than once before finalising assessments.
